50 Years!

 This was the little house that we bought in 1969. Called a Californian Bungalow, it was built in 1925 and we bought it from the original owner and builder.

 This was the house in 1972, with the beginnings of a garden at the front and a council planted tree tied to a stake on the nature strip.

 This was the view across the street to another Cal Bung as they are called locally, tucked behind it's neat hedge.

            The hedge has gone and this is what is now being built across the road to loom over us.

This is the house today after we have lived in it for 50 years  The little tree tied to a stake is now a big mature Paper Bark tree, and the house is almost hidden behind the garden and trees.
